Guide ranges for supply & fit; controls and commissioning by a smoke-control specialist. Your price is fixed in a written quote after we have seen photos or surveyed. Scaffold, access towers or a crane are priced separately if the job needs them, and building control fees, where a job needs them, are shown as their own line.
Fitting across Banbridge and nearby
Fitters travel to the job, so the address is what counts. In Banbridge that means postcode districts BT32, BT25 and BT31, and the same teams can just as easily take on work in Craigavon, about 8 miles away, or Portadown at roughly 8 miles. Survey and fitting dates are offered according to fitter availability, and travel is built into the quote rather than added later.
On the day, we cover
- Old vent removed with the stairwell kept protected below
- New vent fitted, sealed and weathered into the roof
- Upstand checked, adapted or rebuilt to the vent maker's drawing
- Controls and backup power — We confirm the controls, detection and backup power are being dealt with by a specialist.
- Certified as a system — We only fit smoke vents that are certified to BS EN 12101-2.
What happens on the day
Protection comes before tools. Floors, furniture and stairs get covered, and the ceiling below the opening is sheeted to catch dust. Up top, the fitters confirm the opening is square and the upstand or flashing suits what the maker specifies. Fixing follows, then weather-sealing into the membrane, felt or tiles. Only once the roof is tight do they turn to the internal reveal. Time on site for a smoke vent rooflight: one to two days per vent, weather permitting.
Planning, building control and Banbridge
In Northern Ireland, smoke vents must be certified products that keep the free area the building's fire strategy requires, with controls connected and commissioned by a smoke-control specialist. The Technical Booklets and building control set the detailed requirement, and we confirm it before quoting.
Before you get in touch
What we cannot see, we have to guess, and guesses make quotes wider. So the more you send, the tighter the price. Useful: shots from the roof or garden, shots from the room underneath, a rough width and length, the roof finish, any access problems, and the product page if you have already ordered. Add the property postcode around BT32 and we will come back with a quote or a survey date.
Common questions in Banbridge
Do you cover Banbridge?
Yes. Fitters travel to addresses in Banbridge and the surrounding districts, including BT32. We do not run an office there; the survey and the fitting happen at your property. A few island and remote postcodes are covered by arrangement; if yours is one, we confirm travel and dates before quoting.
Will my new smoke vent rooflight leak?
A correctly fitted unit should not. Leaks usually trace back to the detail around the frame: an upstand that is too low, a membrane or flashing that is not dressed properly, sealant applied to a damp surface, or water ponding against the kerb. We fit to the maker's instructions and check each of those points. The fitting carries a written workmanship guarantee, with its terms set out on your quote.
What is included in the price?
The written quote lists it line by line. Typically that covers fitting labour, fixings, sealants, membrane or flashing materials, any upstand work, internal finishing if agreed, and taking away the waste. For supply and fit, the unit itself is included too. Scaffold, lifting gear and any third-party fees, where needed, are shown separately so you can see what each part of the job costs.
